Guest Guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 need a good appraiser for dishes & such. Can any one give me a name or place to go to have some old china oyster dish appraised? They are probably not worth much, but take them over to Mapes Auctions just to make certain.

Guest Guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 If you give me your address and leave your door unlocked, I will be glad to appraise then for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat's Eye Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Bob Connely at Bob and Sally Connely's Antique shop on State St. in downtown Binghamton. He's a professional appraiser. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Emporer Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Bob Connely at Bob and Sally Connely's Antique shop on State St. in downtown Binghamton. He's a professional appraiser. Good luck! OH PLEASE..That guy is such a crook...and Mapes won't appraise unless you pay them which might be worth more than the dish. I suggest going on line, check for a "mark" on the back and search for it. Then go to ebay and look to see if any items are on there that are similar..if people are bidding a good amount then it's probably worth something..if not, it's probably some old kind of transfer wear that was common back in the day. There are also online appraisal sites that will give you an honest appraisal just for sending them a picture of the object. Anyone in Broom county will screw you big time if you have something worth anything, they'll tell you it's value-less then offer you a few dollars and turn around and sell it in their shops for big bucks (hello-Connelly's)..

I'm not really just antiques but when somebody comes into my shop I show them completed listings. A few times I have actually lost money because sometimes theres a bid war and it inflates the actual value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PARMELEE Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 need a good appraiser for dishes & such. Can any one give me a name or place to go to have some old china oyster dish appraised? Actually your best bet is to go to Barnes and Noble and look them up yourself.....If you plan on selling them don't expect to get book value, but you should get anywhere from 50 to 70%...
